In this episode of Praana Cafe, the focus is on Forests across India - the laws that were meant to protect and how they have softened and the comofrting story we tell ourselves about the growing green cover in India. And then three painful stories, from Chattisgarh (where a forest still breathes) to Andaman & Nicobar (an island too quiet to fight back) to the Aravallis (where the mountain that stopped the desert). There is a pattern beneath these stories that should make us uncomfortable.

P.S: Regarding the laws mentioned in the episode, I've tried to understand and simplify them to the best of my ability. If any discrepencies, please email me: [email protected]
